The Cash Jar

Welcome to Friday, my friends. Welcome. It’s blogging time.

I’ve posted cash back and points platforms over the past few weeks. I also showed you how you can maximize your income by following a few additional methods. Some of these methods were to use these platforms regularly, combine your royalty awards programs, and use all platforms I’ve shared. You can also combine your cash back bank or credit cards to get more income. One method I missed, which was not intentional, was the “save, sale, and discount,etc” found on your receipts. I will explain the reason why you shouldn’t ignore this during your shopping routine. I’ve mentioned the above at short spurts during my blogs. Now, I will make this a feature for the first time.

There are always sales going on every day. In stores, online and in major retail or local stores. Advertising to get you back in their stores works wisely since no one can give up on a bargain. A bargain is a must-have. Be careful that these bargains are not the average price coming down from stores that love to elevate their prices to bring them down to normal average prices to trick everyone. Do your due diligence. I’m not telling you not to shop when this happens. It’s what you do next is what matters. No one wants to alienate their favorite stores and brands because of price issues. No one.

Some people have a habit of checking their receipts before leaving the cashier’s checkpoint. They want to know that they were not overcharged, got the right change back, and that their discount went through if necessary. So you got your discount. Now what.

There is no sale or discount if you do not have the savings or discount in your hands. What is the sense of having the savings that you can not see to spend it again immediately. To remedy that, this is what you should do. Each time you get your sale price or discount credited. Check your receipts. Put away the dollar amount in your piggy bank or savings jar. Do not spend it. Save it.

The savings I get go into my cash jar. I use this jar to put away my savings as soon as I shop, and as it shows up on my receipt as advertised. Use whatever you have available if not for the traditional piggy bank.

If you use all the points and cash platforms that I shared with you a few weeks ago, coupled with this savings method…each shopping trip, you…without a doubt, will be on your way to making that extra money to supplement whatever income that you are already making.

Don’t forget to share your links with others as well.

Ok. Let’s go shopping!!!!
